The game is in Florida, so it will fall under the AAC television deals. I believe they have only a contract with ESPN.
Of course there's lots of competition among the various broadcast rights ESPN has, but not that particular game.
looking at the UCF schedule this year their Saturday home game kick-off times and TV were
08 Sept South Carolina St 6pm ET on ESPN3
29 Sept Pitt 3:30pm ET on ESPNU
06 Oct SMU 7pm ET on ESPNU
10 Nov Navy 12noon ET on ESPN2
17 Nov Cincinnati 8pm ET on ABC
they also had one Thursday and one Friday home game
they had one road game on a major network (@USF on Friday 23 Nov 4:15pm ET on ESPN) and another on a split broadcast (@Memphis Sat 13 Oct 3:30pm ET ABC/ESPN2 (RM))
so maybe not a noon ET kick-off (only one home noon kick-off this season), but it also does not look like it will be one of ESPN's major broadcasts that day given that most of their games were on ESPNU or ESPN2 or ESPN3 unless the ESPN pickings are very slim that day
